Senior Mechanical Engineer (AI Evaluator / F500) - $90/hr

**APPLY DIRECTLY HERE:** https://t.mercor.com/ZXMag **Role Overview** Mercor is seeking Senior Mechanical Engineering professionals to review and refine evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in Fortune 500 enterprise product design and manufacturing contexts. You will assess mechanical engineering scenarios, reference outputs, and grading rubrics that capture how senior F500 engineering leaders think, ensuring AI models align with real-world industrial safety, scale, and complexity. *This role features two standards tracks: a US track (ASME) and an International track (ISO). Experts qualified in either or both are strongly encouraged to apply.* **What You'll Do** * **Technical Review:** Assess complex mechanical engineering tasks, reference outputs, and supporting artifacts for technical accuracy, realism, and professional complexity. * **Validation:** Independently check engineering calculations, design assumptions, analyses, and conclusions against applicable standards (ASME or ISO). * **CAD/Simulation Audit:** Review design documentation and CAD/simulation evidence to identify errors, omissions, and inconsistent assumptions. * **Rubric Evaluation:** Evaluate grading rubrics to ensure they clearly distinguish sound professional engineering judgment from generic textbook recall. **Candidate Profile** * **Experience:** 5+ years working as a Mechanical Engineer or Engineering Lead at a Fortune 500 or major industrial, automotive, aerospace, or manufacturing company *(e.g., GE, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Honeywell, Siemens, Bosch, Rolls-Royce, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).* * **Project Ownership:** Direct ownership of large-scale product designs, manufacturing processes, or engineering certification programs. * **Methodology \& Standards:** Fluency in enterprise mechanical engineering tooling, safety standards, regulatory certification (ASME, ISO, FAA, FDA), and cross-functional design governance. * *Bonus Qualifications:* A professional engineering credential (US PE or an international equivalent such as CEng or EUR ING) and prior experience authoring engineering-training curriculums or design documentation. **Engagement Details \& Compensation** * **Work Structure:** 100% remote, independent contractor position. Highly flexible schedule based entirely on your availability. * **Compensation:** Highly competitive flat rate of **$90.00 per hour**. * **Payments:** Processed securely and weekly via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered. *(We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.)*
